Does anyone know if Lipoma is sketchy? The standard "is band problematic" search didn't give any information and i'm struggling to find info

Thx in advance ;)

I’ve considered Mystifier to be one of my favorite black metal bands since I learned about them a year or so ago. However a couple things have confused me.

1. How does Beelzeebubth consider Dagon of Inquisition a friend after the claims of Nazism against his band and the CP stuff? I feel if a guy I was friends with was arrested for that I’d distance from him regardless if he’s “innocent” or not.

2. I also noticed the band follows Werwolf of SW on Insta and comments on his stuff showing support.

I know they are pretty left leaning (and I’ve heard they’ve beaten up Nazis), but do they just have a “idgaf” attitude like Blasphemy?

This label is coming back this year. Have they had any sketch ties in the past? Having trouble finding anything online

While looking for records online I keep seeing this label called Iron Bonehead records. The name just screams sketch, their slogan is '30 years of satanic supremacy' but I don't see any overtly sketch stuff. And also I can't find any of the bands who's 7"ers I was looking at. Any if you guys could please do your thing I'd appreciate it.

Blasphemy mentioned them in a interview. So far from I learned from them in an interview is one guys is really into Conqueror and they don’t pay attention to politics/let it come in their music.

I discovered a black metal band from Ukraine, and after checking (which I always do) it has 2 former members of Nokturnal Mortum. It got me thinking, is that black metal scene in Ukraine still mainly happening around that kind of circle with all the black metal bands from Ukraine? Yes, that one full of nazis. Does anyone has some recent information on that?

Plus, Nokturnal Mortum stepped out and changed?

That black metal festival in Ukraine is (or was) also notorious booking any NSBM. Are the same people involved?

I see a 7" for cheap from beastcraft. They're not on the sketchlist and neither is the label - pulverized records. Looking at their lyrics it's all heavy satanic/antichristian stuff which is rad, didn't see any Nazi/race stuff. The 7" in question has covers for the b side from darkthrone and von. From what I recall reading darkthrone has been sketch but is okay and aren't Von from Hawaii or some shit? Anyway help me out if you guys don't mind. Is Beastcraft sketch?

Been digging these guys lately but been wondering about any questionable things the band has done or any unsavory connections. Only thing I could find is the Facebook page but it's pretty barren outside of them following some bands like Marduk, but with that they also follow some openly left bands and I don't view a Facebook following list as enough information unless it's filled with obvious Nazi shit.

They have anti-zionism as a lyrical theme which can be either actual anti-zionism or just an excuse for antisemitism depending on the context. They have a song called Pagan From the East which is kinda suspicious since paganism is often far right. But they are from Malaysia, a country where fascism is rare in black metal so I have very mixed feelings about them

I know this sounds like a stupid question but I really enjoy their first few albums, the vocalist of which was in Impaled Nazarene, a fairly famous fashy band. However, he wasn't in it for a long time and it was apparently before (?) they took a turn

Russian Atmospheric Black/Folk Metal.

Hi I’m new to the subreddit and I recently got into war metal, but no way in hell do I want to support fascist artists. I like revenge but I feel sketched out on some of their stuff. I looked at a thread on here but it’s 5 years old at this point. Furthermore are there any left/ antifacist war metal bands out there? Thank you!

I saw some people saying theyre sketch and some people saying theyre not, didnt come to a conclusion

this is about the French atmospheric black metal band Silhouette to quell any potential confusion

so far all I've found is they're signed to antiq records, which is never a good sign, but i want to see if anyone has anything more damning than a label connection. I know labels are a pretty big thing but as a musician myself sometimes you've just gotta take a bad gig to keep the lights on, so I hope these guys aren't nazis

edit: I personally reached out to the band's bassist over Instagram, and he took the time to assure me no one in the band holds any far right views, and overall their music is apolitical

So I've been a fan of their music for a few years, but it wasn't until recently that I've taken a thorough look through their many splits that I've noticed they've released material with a few sketchy bands. (Goatsemen and Bestial Warlust to name a few.) but at the same time they've also released splits with non-sketch bands as well like Agathocles and Unholy Grave.

So are they totally sketchy?? Do they know what they're doing? Or do they just not care??

I know war metal in general is a red flag, but their album is like if Blasphemy had half-decent production. Having a generic name like 'Antichrist' makes it impossible to find info on.

Just found them and I really dig the music, but I also saw that they played festivals with Nargaroth, so I was curious

It's a polish neo pagan folk project and they're signed to Werewolf Promotion, which also has NSBM bands... Are they just ignorant to it, or do they support this ideology themselves? I think it's only one guy though.

I REALLY like the music, but the Werewolf Promotion thing bothers me a lot :(

Nothing seems obviously sus about them. But some of their imagery especially the statue stuff seems kinda wack. Not sure. If anyone knows that would be great.

Didn't find anything at first glance

Didn't really do a lot of digging, but I found this article about an anti Trump project where Tovarish, who are on the same label as Splendidula, participated.

Would love if anyone could share me more info about the band.

Supposed pioneers of crossover thrash, granted I haven't listen to them much nor have I really thought about the possibility of them being sketch. But it wasn't until recently I took a more in depth look into their songs and lyrics.

Now for a while I thought it was purely satirical but now I'm just not really sure. But seeing the use of slurs in "skool bus" and having a song titled "fuck the middle east", maybe I'm answering my own question and not really realizing it.

Heard Whitechapel mention them in the Garza podcast and they seem pretty brutal.

Anyone familiar with them? Austrian black metal band that was recently recommended to me. The person who recommended them to me is a member of a band that I know are cool but I'm still cautious.

I can't find anything on them but im also bad at researching bands.

They get put in a few nsbm playlists but those aren't always accurate and the only theme (source is metallum) that could be bad is just "history"

Finnish Black/Thrash. They did a split with Abigail and I know Yasuyuki, while not far-right, has been known to collaborate with sketchy people. Is there something I'm missing with Beatrix?

I’m referring to the Nachzehrer based in Bay Area California. He’s Vampiric bm so I’m being a little more cautious with him.

Here’s the link to the metal archives page. I’m sorry for posting it here, I’m just really unsure of how to look for these types of things.
